2020-21 Annual "Transfer" Guess-a-thon

Bleeding might not be over yet.

The best answer to this would have to be that some of these kids want to be closer to home.

Thanks GGG. We thought it might have been a bigger issue with the program. Glad that has been cleared up.

What's your take on the maturity level of the transfers being recruited to Wichita?

Don't know them as well as the transfers that have left so i couldn't say. It was clear that at least a few of the defectors had maturity issues. You are kidding yourself if you don't see that, or you are one of their parents.

Worst movie ever? Maybe. This is when I realized the whole movie was just speculation. Weak sauce!

one of the 5 worst ever

JB speculation- He comes in here, busts his tail, does everything asked of him and.........coach goes and not only recruits 2 PGs under him, but promises one of them to be "the PG at WSU". You think JB didn't read the article when GS signed? Can anyone look themselves in the mirror and say GS EARNED the minutes and leash he was given? Yet, JB was losing his job, his minutes, to this kid. I wouldn't trust my coach either in that situation. JB worked hard, played hard and from all accounts, was a good teammate and good representative of the team. He had his weaknesses, sure, he was a true soph playing out of position really. But, his coach that he believed in, dedicated his summer to and busted his tail for.... promised GS the keys to the car. To put it in college kids terms, he got cheated on. I personally 100% believe the love affair between GGG & GS caused the issue with JB & potentially ES. GS got a long leash, ES & JB did not. GS did not earn that leash. I completely understand if he feels unwanted or feels like he is 2nd choice.

Tacking on to this thought- Anyone remember 3 years ago, the growing discontent in the lockerroom from the seniors? Who would have thought Rashard Kelly would speak up... Then it was Landry getting the 'special treatment' of the longer leash than the rest. And it played out about like you'd expect with the early exit in the dance. Just sayin' GGG loves his guards...but you can't put 1 guy ahead of the rest of the team, when you preach 'team first' all day every day and Sunday.

I made my comment based on insight and intuition I had, before reading this

It's probably stronger than "considering" if it is leaking to the media . If a player is "considering" transferring to this degree, they probably just better go ahead and do it. There will always be that awkward cloud hanging over if things don't go perfectly in the future.

JB led the team in minutes.

He wasn't buried to the end of the bench.

EXACTLY!!! It was in his head. He was given a very large leash as well in my opinion.

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

At this point, if someone is "considering" it just man up and do it. Get the F out and don't look back. Buy in or get out!

[TheGr1z]

I am a long way away from 20 years old now, but I don’t see the point in JB subtweeting that he didn’t leave due to playing time if he wasn’t being honest about how he feels.

I would be interested in a poll of everyone here to see what they think the biggest underlying cause of all of these transfers is.

Over/Under # of days till Dex enters portal?

[WstateU]

I'm in the same boat....kids would always get on me when I was mad when he would score the patented "dribble around in the paint for a while, look off open guys, and then throw something up that went in". Yes he got the bucket, but most times it wasn't due to running anything that resembled offense. At any rate, taken individually I am OK with any of the transfer outs as I'm not sure that they had either the right skills, mindset, or both....but man at some point, you gotta have someone to put on the floor, the sheer number of new players is going to be an issue. Concerned we might look like a pick up team out there next year at this rate in terms of new guys not knowing each other and how to play together.

We might be "starving and outnumbered", but we'll fight to the bitter end...

His sister said it wasn’t about PT and JB retweeted.
The PT thing is actually in your head
